This image is a winner simply because it is a great moment that speaks to the heart of a groom's words on his wedding day, and their meaning for his bride. Moments like this, captured in a photograph that works compositionally, are the reason this style of wedding photography is demanded by clients.

Obviously some of photography is serendipitous, but it still must be a moment caught. Nice!

Take an idea for a pretty picture, and throw in an unexpected moment and you get a winner like this. The image might have been very pretty, but now it's far more of a prize from the day. You couldn't ask for a better splash....but you do have to be ready when it happens.

Photographer's Comment

Perfect couple, one left handed and the other right handed holding the glass. At first, I wanted to focus on the couples expression, but the mic they are holding is a bit distracting. The details of the glass caught my attention, so I decide to focus at the glass, wide open aperture.
